OT: A lady called me fat today

Karen,

I see a lot of people who support you and respect you. My first impression of you from your posts was a very friendly, funny, and warm person. I know you can hear 20-30 people telling you what is true within their hearts, but it may fall hollow on the hurt you feel from one nasty comment. That's the way it usually is. I don't blame you for feeling hurt, she found the right button to push and likely knows it hurts.

You are who you think you are. I don't think anyone in the world has escaped insult or jeers. From great leaders to great artists and the world's most beautiful people, they've faced someone as you have now. The difference between "us" and "them" is that we can move on with our lives while they are forced to live a life of causing pain upon others. Nasty people have a way of being nasty to everyone. I wouldn't want that dark of a soul. Nor would I want to walk my final journey alone, because I've hurt everyone around me.

VERY WELL SAID!!! :D

 You have to remember there's some really insane people living among us.  You seem to have found one.  You are definitely not fat.
We'll go pay her a little visit after our dinner next week.  

 Karen, I am so sorry this has happened to you!! I have not met you and I look forward to the dinner when I can.  I think whoever this person was was maybe either jealous, or just a very mean person.  You are beautiful and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!  160 pounds is freaken awesome and just remind yourself of that!!  I am not the best with words, but I hope you feel a little better tonight.  Sarah.

Hey Sarah,  If I remember right, I think Karen is 127!  She's tiny!

I just looked at your pictures and YOU ARE NOT FAT!!!   

Please don't be discouraged!  You have done so incredibly well and in my personal opinion  YOU are a BEAUTIFUL person INSIDE & OUT.
 
You have always been so kind to me.  Amazingly kind.  I have seen your posts and support  for everyone on here and you need to know that you are a REMARKABLE human being. 

I have no idea how someone could be so incredibly rude, hurtful and insensitive and I hope that you don't ever have to deal with that person again.  I am kind of in shock myself so I have NO IDEA how you must have felt or feel.  There is no excuse for her behaviour, no matter what the situation was.

As for your mate.  I don't know how long you have been together - but anyone worth keeping in your life would have:  A - stuck up for you in that situation and/or
                                       B - leave WITH you knowing how upset you must have been

I know that my posts have been very emotional and mostly negative toward myself and my own journey - but -  I NEED you to know that I have read so many of the things you have posted to me and to others in this forum and I AM SO GRATEFUL and AMAZED by you.  I consider myself LUCKY to have met you and have no doubt that you are just as wonderful in person as you are on here.

I hope your heart heals quickly. 

Aww crap....Karen..everyone used all the good four letter words I was going to use to describe the wench.   Let us know where she lives and we will go open some whoop ass up on her!

I hate that the only "acceptable" think people use as ammunition in their little petty bull**** now is the word "fat" and how that can disarm so many of us so quickly.


Clearly this woman is a selfish cow and she needs to be eradicated off her planet.


Hugs my sweet friend Karen **** her and the horse she rode in on.

What a horrible *****! Reread all the wonderful supportive posts and know you are thin, beautiful and loved by so many. This jealous ***** probably has a miserable life and wanted to bring someone else down to her level. Love you tons xoxo

I cant believe this, I have seen a few pics of you, and you are so far from being fat....but I can understand how you feel. I have seen my brother twice since my surgery and just the other day he asked me if I was prego because it looked like I gained weight...I was like...WTF...all I can do is laugh it off!
